In order to reveal the long run association between second job holding and unemployment in the Czech Republic, this study uses quarterly data from Eurostat for the period of 1998Q1 to 2008Q4. Application of the Engle Granger two-step method of cointegration analysis confirms the long run equilibrium relationship between second job holding and unemployment in the Czech Republic. Absence of a statistically significant error correction term suggests that it is not possible to create a meaningful error correction model to analyze the short-run dynamics between second job holding and unemployment. The Granger causality test indicates that there is a one-way causal relationship from second job holding to unemployment. Therefore, second job holding is considered as a contributing factor to unemployment in the Czech Republic.
